TUESDAY PICK - 012

Former Perlis Mufti Dr Mohd Asri Zainul Abidin wrote today that the act ofplacing the Malay race as more supreme than the others was against theteachings of Islam, which preaches tolerance and the equality of all races.

“If someone considers himself more noble simply because of race or ethnicity factors, or considers others lower than himself because they are not of the same race, such belief is wrong and goes against the teachings of Islam.

“Should this be the case, it can be likened to the Jewish claim that theyare the 'chosen race',” he said.

“If a race should be viewed as noble, this nobility must be proven in howthey lead their lives. The Malays or the other races can achieve thisthrough their efforts towards upholding dignity, and not just by relying ontheir races or different ethnicities,” said Dr Mohd Asri Zainul Abidin

We want our Rulers to identify themselves with all Malaysians and for all Malaysians to accept that our Rulers are their Rulers as well and, in this way hope that they will learn to embrace and understand the system employed in governing this, their country. The position of the Rulers will be greatly enhanced.

I am proud Malay, as proud as the next, in fact, prouder than most because I can trace my genealogy, in an unbroken line of recorded history, spanning a thousand years. I am not a Malay come lately.

If talented foreigners get special treatmentto come and live here, what about talented Malaysians who have lived here all their lives? Yesterday’s announcement of a new class of immigration permit gives a subtle hint: talented Malaysians are second-class.

Oh, incidentally, and by the way, “talented foreigners” also applies to those “traitor” Malaysians who emigrated years ago and who were then vilified by Umno officials, and sometimes MCA and MIC officials too, as “rubbish” for leaving. Most of them were Nons but in later years many non-Nons have also left.

The problem in Malaysia is we have too many so-called Islamic experts talking c@#$. Sad that we are no longer a secular country as BN has hijacked the nation with its version of Islam that legalise corruption for the umnoputera to plunder the wealth under the guise of NEP.

What Prime Minister Najib Razak said at the opening of the BN convention last Sunday reflects a mind of the lowest common denominator. It is not the kind of mind one expects of a prime minister.

He stooped really low in taking swipes at the two-family dominance of the DAP (Lim Kit Siang's and Karpal Singh's) and "nepotism" in PKR, forgetting that he too is the son of a former prime minister, and that Dr Mahathir Mohamad also has a son who is a deputy minister with ambitions of becoming bigger...

Our constitution does not specify the race of the prime minister, and the deputy PM is not even mentioned in the constitution.

The Umno leaders are making a big issue about the deputy PM being a Malay or non-Malay to play on the racial sentiments of the Malays and thus hope to win their votes at the next elections.

The Umno people are hoping that the Malays will be stupid enough to overlook the fact that since Dr Mahathir Mohamad's premiership, the country is estimated to have lost more than RM300 billion to corruption (according to Time magazine).

Most of this money was stolen by the top Umno people and that is why we often read about some of their family members joining the billionaire club or like Mahathir's son, making a huge investment in a brewery.

They are terrified that they would not be able to continue stealing and would be brought to justice if Pakatan Rakyat wins the next elections. Hence they are likely to use all sorts of dirty and crooked methods to cling on to power.
